Description
Umayyads – Abd al-Malik (685–705) Dinar Inscriptions on the obverse and reverse Condition: Very Fine Material: Gold Weight: 4.24 grams Book reference: Mitch39 This dinar illustrates the monetary reform of 696–697, which moved away from imitating Byzantine and Sassanid types in favour of a purely epigraphic coinage, inscribed with verses from the Qur’an. This marks the birth of the classical Islamic gold dinar, which served as the standard model for centuries, from Córdoba to Baghdad.
